Configuring IPSG M3UA Linkset Options

This procedure is used to configure the options for an IPSG M3UA linkset with the chg-lsopts command and these parameters.

:lsn - The name of the IPSG M3UA linkset.

:numslkalw - This parameter specifies the number of IS-NR (in-service normal) signaling links in the IPSG M3UA linkset required to change the state of the linkset from the Restricted or Prohibited state to the Allowed state. When the number of IS-NR signaling links in the linkset changes from a value that is less than the numslkalw parameter value to a value that is equal or greater than the numslkalw value, the state of the linkset changes to the Allowed state. The value of this parameter is from 0 to 16. The value of this parameter cannot exceed the number of signaling links that are assigned to the linkset. The value 0 represents half the number of signaling links that are assigned to the linkset. If this parameter is not specified, the current value of this parameter is not changed. The system default value for this parameter is 1.

:numslkrstr - This parameter specifies the number of signaling links in the IPSG M3UA linkset required to change the state of the linkset from the Allowed state to the Restricted state. When the number of IS-NR signaling links in the linkset changes from a value that is equal to or greater than the numslkrstr parameter value to a value that is less than the numslkrstr parameter value and greater than the numslkproh parameter value, the state of the linkset changes from the Allowed state to the Restricted state. Changing the state of the linkset from the Prohibited state to the Restricted state is not supported. The value of this parameter is from 0 to 16. The value of this parameter cannot exceed the number of signaling links that are assigned to the linkset. The value 0 represents half the number of signaling links that are assigned to the linkset. If this parameter is not specified, the current value of this parameter is not changed. The system default value for this parameter is 1.

:numslkproh - This parameter specifies the number of signaling links in the IPSG M3UA linkset required to change the state of the linkset from the Allowed or Restricted state to the Prohibited state. When the number of IS-NR signaling links in the linkset changes from a value that is equal to or greater than the numslkproh parameter value to a value that is less than the numslkproh parameter value, the state of the linkset changes from the Allowed or Restricted state to the Prohibited state. The value of this parameter is from 0 to 16. The value of this parameter cannot exceed the number of signaling links that are assigned to the linkset. The value 0 represents half the number of signaling links that are assigned to the linkset. If this parameter is not specified, the current value of this parameter is not changed. The system default value for this parameter is 1.

An IPSG M3UA linkset is a linkset that contains these values: IPSG=yes, ADAPTER=m3ua.

If the IPSG M3UA linkset contains no signaling links, the value of the numslkalw, numslkrstr, or numslkproh parameters can only be changed to 0 or 1.

If 0 is specified as the value of the numslkalw, numslkrstr, or numslkproh parameters, a number with an asterisk (*) is shown as the value of the numslkalw, numslkrstr, or numslkproh parameter.

  1. Display the IPSG and IPGWx linksets that are provisioned in the database by entering the rept-stat-iptps command.

    The following is an example of the possible output.

    If no linksets are shown in this step, this procedure cannot be performed.

    If linksets are shown in this step, continue the procedure with 2.

  2. Display one of the linksets shown in 1 by entering the rtrv-ls command with the name of one of the linksets shown in 1. For this example, enter this command.

    rtrv-ls:lsn=ipsgm3ua

    IPSG M3UA linksets are shown by the entry m3ua in the ADAPTER column of the rtrv-ls output. If the linkset is an IPSG M3UA linkset, continue the procedure with 3

    If the linkset is not an IPSG M3UA linkset, perform one of these actions.
    • Choose another linkset from 1 and repeat this step.
    • If you do not wish to choose another linkset, the remainder of this procedure cannot be performed. This procedure is finished.
  3. Change the IPSG M3UA linkset options by entering the chg-lsopts command.

    For this example, enter this command.

    chg-lsopts:lsn=ipsgm3ua:numslkalw=3:numslkrstr=2:numslkproh=2

    The value of the numslkalw, numslkrstr, or numslkproh parameters cannot exceed the number of signaling links that are assigned to the linkset.

    The value of the numslkrstr parameter must be less than or equal to the numslkalw parameter value.

    The value of the numslkproh parameter must be less than or equal to the numslkrstr parameter value.

    When this command has successfully completed, the following message should appear.

    CHG-LSOPTS: MASP A - COMPLTD
    
  4. Verify the changes by entering the rtrv-ls command with the name of the linkset specified in 3. For this example, enter this command.

    rtrv-ls:lsn=ipsgm3ua
